Western women often wonder...why the hijab? There are many reasons, including one oft forgot: Hijab is beautiful and incredibly versatile!
At a *Stop Bombing Gaza Demo* in San Jose, California on January 11, FASHION made a statement.
A reminder to any would-be documenters of hijab fashion. Please do ask permission before photographing Muslim women and girls, and respect personal feelings on this issue. All persons featured in these photos agreed to be photographed, and in the case of girls, their mothers granted permission.

If you CHOOSE to wear a hijab- thats just fine. But if your father, brother or husband forces you- thats a different story.
Too often Islamic female garb is about oppressing and repressing female sexuality in a male dominated society.

Too often non-Islamic westerners see the hijab as a symbol of oppression when it is not the case. Celebrate hijab beauty!
I see my mom :D
